Stallion - Gobots

Machine Robo Tonka MRT-45

This model was originally designed in Japan by Bandai specifically for US Gobots distribution and was not released for Machine Robo Series. Scratch, Stallion, Sparky, Stinger and Van Guard are all marked 'MRT-' vs. MR- (Machine Robo, most Gobots and Machine Men) or RM- (Robo Machine); MRT signifying 'Machine Robo Tonka'. With the exception of Sparky and Stinger these American model car alt mode figures were not released outside of the US.

Sparky and Stinger were added to the European Robo Machine line and Sparky to the Australian Machine Men assortment at the very end of their runs; suspect due to excess stock vs. planned inclusion.

Further details are below, on the Series 1 Index and for more in-depth reading see the Toy Line History page.

* Window Variants Stallion was released with the driver and passenger side door windows either painted silver or with pre-applied silver stickers. At this time it is not confirmed what the distribution spread was over the releases above. As the prototype showed stickered windows it's likely the stickered production version was the initial release.
